With the Maison Boucherons 150 years of history and heritage comes the duty to promote its legacy and respect its savoir-faire in order to pass them on to new generations. The Maison is a frontrunner of style, inventing a number of techniques such as the mirror setting or mosaic setting and holds many jewelry patents, like the invisible clasp system. For Boucheron, it is fundamental to welcome its clients in a warm and personalized atmosphere. By keeping its development on a human scale and carefully selecting its number of boutiques, the Maison gives priority to a high level of service and never compromises on the quality of its creations.

Boucheron is first and foremost a signature style and aesthetic which is immediately recognizable. The Boucheron family is renowned for having anticipated the neo-gothic style of the end of the 19th century, enhanced the naturalistic style and created some of the Art Deco periods masterpieces. Today, more than ever, creativity is essential to the Maison and triumphs over a paradox by combining 150 years of history and savoir-faire with ultra-contemporary creations.

In 1858, Frederic Boucheron opened his first boutique in the Galerie de Valois under the arcades of the Palais Royal which at that time was the center of the Parisian luxury trade.

In 1866, the Maison Boucheron created its workshop. In 1867, Frederic Boucheron is awarded the gold medal for the innovative spirit of his jewelry at the Universal Exhibition in Paris.

In 1887, the diamonds of the French crown were auctioned off. Frederic Boucheron was the only French buyer. This sale would give rise to the creation of numerous jewels inspired by the crown jewels. On the occasion of the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1889, Boucheron presented its first point dinterrogation necklace. This style of necklace has remained a key element within the Maison Boucheron ever since.

In 1893, the Maison Boucheron opened its doors at 26 Place Vendme and installed its workshop. Frederic Boucheron was the first jeweler to settle on the square. He shared the premises with the Countess of Castiglione who lived on the mezzanine.

In 1900, at the Universal Exhibition in Paris, The Maison Boucheron received the gold medal and was established as one of the forerunners of the Art Nouveau movement. In 1921, the Maison Boucheron created an exceptional diadem that would become one of the Queen Mother Elizabeths favorites.

Launch of the first Reflet watch was in 1947.

In 1988, the Maison Boucheron celebrated its 130th anniversary with a major retrospective at the Jacquemard André Museum and launched its first fragrance.

The Ava collection in homage of the eternal grace of Ava Gardner was launched in 2003.

In 2012, it participated in the Biennale des Antiquaires at the Grand Palais in Paris.

The Maison Boucheron gives its clients the certainty of acquiring the most beautiful gemstones, of the best quality, cut and origin. In order to secure the exclusivity of the rarest and most desirable stones, the Maison has always nurtured close ties with the most exceptional mines. The ability to find the most extraordinary stones is at the heart of the Maisons identity.

A Maison Boucheron creation is the result of such savoir-faire and quest for perfection that it takes on a life on its own. In this way, when a woman chooses a creation of the Maison, she sets the spark for a link with that creation which is strong and unique. It is the beginning of a story to be written over the years and for generations to come, thanks to the moments of emotion and happiness which these exceptional pieces will witness. A Boucheron creation tells a story, that of the Maison and your own.
